This isn't the main place I post. I roll on ifunny more than anywhere else (weirdly enough) and recently did two pages worth of OC sketches for some people over there.
Lots of fun experimenting with shading styles and colors on this one!
Closeups below.
Also please don't come at me for how weird some of the shading looks. I use Crayola markers, colored pencils, and sharpies for my sketchbook cause I don't wanna buy stupid expensive products lmao. so coloring and shading is mostly me fighting on a color test swatch page and going "fuck it, we ball" with everything
Ferocious gators, aware avians, and mysterious rabbits oh my! Could the guard be in on it?
(Fanart for my own FnaF: Security Breach rewritten fanfic following Chica instead of Freddy titled: "Caught in a (Broken) Loop")
Final illustration close-ups!
Work in progress screenshots. The style for this was largely inspired by Blender comic book rendering shaders and, of course, the LivingTombstone's "This Comes From Inside" music video.
It's finally done! After three long months through Ringling finals, winter break, and even now into midterms I've finally completed my part for the HLVRAI "How Far We've Come" MAP!
This was so much fun and really helped me practice animation and anatomy. HUGE shoutout to @snailsdraw and @ves-doodles for helping me through this and keeping me sane in the render labs. You should also check out the MAP call and channel it's hosted on here.

3 pages of HLVRAI narrative doodles exploring an idea in which Benrey is a sentient, digital, game-hopping anomaly who chances upon Half-Life.
A window pops up in the void of digital space, an invitation with a 'yes' and 'no' option to join a new game: Half Life. A sentient hand cursor hovering before it goes: "oh yeahh, new game. yeah, duh," before clicking on the 'yes' option.
Said cursor is then gifted a body to explore the game in. It is a short, round body with a stark shadow across the eyes that never seems to go away - a body we recognise as Benrey. He blows a rasberry at the scientist uniform and lab coat the game assigns him first and complains: "aw boo, don't wanna be no nerd. lil nerd boy."
His outfit swaps itself for a military uniform. Unimpressive. "this game got no good skins or somethin'?" he says.
Finally, the game settles on a security guard outfit. Benrey adjusts his new helmet: "oh wait no, this one's cool."
The words "Role Generating…" pop up over his head, and he pokes at it with a finger and grins: "heyy, not an NPC anymore. nice."
His attention is drawn to a new character materialising nearby to his left, namely Gordon Freeman, a white bespectacled man in an HEV suit. There are words floating above this character too, and Benrey reads it aloud: "pro-tag-on-ist." Protagonist.
Benrey flashes a cheeky grin: "a pro, huh? we'll see about that, noob."
3 more characters in scientist uniforms materialise to his right, which prompts a soft "wuh?" from Benrey. The nearest character is a tall Chinese man, followed by an old, balding and portly white gentleman with a mustache, and then a thin elderly white man with glasses. Above the 3, namely Tommy, Dr Coomer, and Bubby respectively, is the title "AI".
"yo, nerd boys alert. they look cool, though," Benrey says, and his gaze floats off dreamily as he continues, "man, we're gonna be great friends. no more baby script for Benny boy, he's all evolved now-"
He's cut off abruptly by his own floating title finally settling on a role for him. "Antagonist", it reads. The game begins counting down to its initation, and he stares at his role title with a look of what might be concern on his face before it switches to disappointment.
"man, i don't wanna be an ant," he says.
The game starts.
End ID.]
When you wanna have sentient fun times outside of reading NPC dialogue scripts with your new AI buddies but the game makes you an ant.
